As the first company Vivior can optimize the lens selection process in ophthalmic surgery based on objective data. The data gathered by patients with Vivior’s Visual Behavior Monitor is used to create an individual visual profile which is matched with the currently available intraocular lenses (IOL) used in cataract and refractive surgery. Vivior’s software uses neural networks to recognize the activities of each patient based on the measurements of the Visual Behavior Monitor.
Vivior is launching their Visual Behavior Monitor this year and will include the software in the latest release.
Prof. Jim Schwiegerling, University of Arizona, member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Vivior explains: “With this software, Vivior can optimize the selection process of IOLs and support the surgeon to achieve optimal outcomes for the patient.”
Robert J. Stevens, MSc, chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of Vivior and former Vice President Surgical R&D at Alcon adds: “Finally, the selection process is based on objective data and state-of-the-art algorithms, which facilitates a successful surgery outcome.”
